Fashion Icons: Bethany Cosentino

Alrighy everyone! It's time for a new feature on the blog! We will now be doing posts dedicated to our style icon. And my first is none other than the beautiful Bethany Cosentino. You may know her from one of my favorite bands, Best Coast. Aw man she is just too cool. Her style is almost like modern 90s.(A.K.A. the best decade) And it just screams California. I love it. Not to mention she and her boyfriend, Nathan Williams (of Wavves), are one of my favorite couples.

As you may know she somewhat recently did a collaboration with Urban Outfitters. It was totally rad. I'm so sad it's over.

Jess's spring wishlist♡♡♡♡♡♡

Okay so today is March 1st, which means Spring is just around the corner(to me at least), and that means it's a perfect time for a Spring Wish list! Without further ado, my wish list.

American Apparel Nail Polish: The American Apparel Coney Island colored nail polish is such a dream color. Personally, I think that some cute nail art completes an outfit. I'll be sure to do a nail tutorial real soon.

Starbucks Iced Chai: I know that this isn't a piece of clothing or anything but I simply cannot wait until I get to sip an Iced Chai from Starbucks while walking down the street in a cute summer dress and sunnies with the wind blowing softly through my hair. Ah I can picture it now... and I need to stop because I'm getting myself excited and I'll go into shock when I actually step outside.

Floral Crown: A.K.A. the ultimate spring accessory. I'm sure you've been spotting floral crowns popping all over. It's an unexpected way to really spice up an outfit. Definitely going to be a huge trend for Spring/Summer. We're working making some floral crowns ourselves, might I add, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.

American Apparel Circle Skirt What can I say? This skirt just screams Spring time lovin'! Just imagine how cute it would be with practically any crop top/tank top you can think of.

Deena & Ozzy Snap Clutch From Urban Outfitters: I love love love this color. It's so mellow but at the same time it could totally transform an outfit. Plus you could use it year round, why restrict this gorgeous bag to only Spring?

Daytripped Panama Sunglasses From Urban Outfitters: As you may have noticed I'm just a little obsessed with sunglasses. Okay... very obsessed with sunglasses. These sunnies are next on my list. Of course, I would also love some Marc Jacobs or some Tom Fords but seeing as I wanted this wishlist to be realistic, unfortunately I'm probably not going to be getting designer sunglasses any time soon. Anyway, these sunglasses are just beautiful and I can't wait to scoot on over to Urban and buy them for the low low price of just $16! weeeeeeeee

Diament Jewelry For Urban Outfitters Earrings: Don't get me wrong, I love hoop earrings and everything but I prefer studs. I especially love mixing and matching studs and these are just perfect. Plus, they're on sale for 10 bucks! 

Free People Knee Socks: One of my all time favorite movies is Clueless and I obviously draw a lot of inspiration from it. Needless to say, I'm in love with knee socks and thigh highs and Free People just so happen to make beautifully soft ones. 

Supergas: I love these sneakers. They're so classic. One of my favorite style icons is Alexa Chung and she wears these constantly. They're perfect for adding some cool to any outfit.

Cosmic Dream Dress From Nasty Gal: Last but not least is this lovely dress. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. When I said a cute summer dress before^ this dress fits the card. Oh lordy... forget Spring, I want Summer.

SoHo Shenanigans

        It may come as little surprise to you that we, being a group of teenage girls, absolutely hate school. Luckily, we had this past entire week off! So obviously we went totally crazy and partied the entire week away....lol jk. But we did have a lovely day about the city! 
 First Stop: Whole Foods

   What is life without yummy food? Meaningless. We decided to head over to Whole Foods to pick up lunch. Jess and I (Sophia) headed over to the sushi bar whilst Wendy went Indian. Thankfully Wendy got way too much food for one person at the Indian Bar so I was able to steal some of her Chicken Marsala. Sharing is caring. 

 

Second Stop: Sephora

So then we headed to Sephora to do stupid girly stuff and smell perfume.                       

In't this a great deal? This giftset contains A 1.7 oz bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy, and a shower gel and lotion of the scent! Not to mention the super cute bag. I think Jess is gonna have to save up her money and gift this to herself. 

The Clean line of fragrances smells like unicorns and sunshine and rainbows and Harry Styles and basically everything good in the world....

 Third Stop: MAC

After some more wandering we found ourselves in MAC's SoHo location. It's so lovely inside! The makeup isn't half bad either.

As you can see, I was quite entertained by the decor.......

 Fourth Stop: Topshop

Finally, we headed to the famous Topshop. Jess and I had never been so we were excited to explore the store......

Sophia gives Top Shop's clothes a big thumbs up......

...and their prices a thumbs down.

Topshop's prices make me want to cry. Perhaps it's a good excuse to go to England to get their beautiful clothes marginally cheaper?

xoxoxo,

Jess, Sophia and Wendy. 

Some New Clothes I Got wooo

Alright! I, Jess, am finally going to make a contribution to this blog. There are a few recent additions to my wardrobe that I would like to share and here they are, in order from the top: the 

Voile Trapeze Slip in blue from Free People, the Fitted With Daisies Dress in black, also from Free People, Sadie Moon Tank in gray, from Brandy Melville, the Sadie Moon and Sun Tank also from Brandy Melville, and the Novelty Midi Ring from Free People.

As you may know, Sophia, Wendy, and I live in New York City. And as you also may know, it is winter in New York City. Since these facts are facts, I unfortunately have not been able to wear these wonderful dresses as much as I would like to. 

Or, in the case of the polka dot dress, at all. I love this dress so much and I had my eye on it for a while, I was just waiting for my auntie to take me shopping to buy it. Heehee... So, you might be thinking "Why not just wear it with tights, Jess?" and I have thought about that, but honestly I'm not so sure I love this particular dress with tights. Anyway, it is a gorgeous dress and I'm actually hoping to get it in some other colors as well. Why can't Spring come sooner??!!!

However, because I still sort of refuse to accept that winter is here and winter is cold (psshhh it's only January... whatever, right?) I have worn the daisy cut out dress. What a dream. It is beautiful, and super cute with or without tights. I am definitely planing to save up and get this one in the merlot color as well.

Not to mention both of these dresses look simply amazing with thigh high socks. ; )

Continuing on, I later ventured to the Brandy Melville online store, and after a long week of anticipation, my purchases finally arrived all the way from California. I've always had a thing for suns and moons, and I am totally and completely in love with these tanks. Both can be paired with either a cute skirt (I wore the first with a black circle skirt from American Apparel, another love of mine) or with jeans!

The last thing I will talk about is the ring. I've been wanting for an accessory that I can wear with anything to show off my moon obsession, and this ring does that perfectly. (Please note the twisty ring is a separate, vintage piece.) I bought this ring at the same time I bought the two above dresses, and until I went on to the Free People website I had absolutely no idea it was supposed to be a midi ring. Oh, what boney-ass fingers I have. I suppose i could wear it as a midi on a different finger, but I think I like it where it is.

P.S. I am definitely planning on making my hangers pretty using Wendy's DIY, below!!
